Besides cost reduction and quality improvement, the GISS Technology is also being applied to produce die cast wrought aluminum alloys which can be anodized and welded. So, anodizing can be applied efficiently and effectively on die cast parts.

Several alloys are being tested including A7075, A6061, and A6063 alloys. This technology allows forming of near-net-shape and high quality products using a low-cost and fast-cycle die casting process. Other low-silicon alloys can also be die cast and anodized with good surface quality.

Commercial applications are being developed. Examples include phone components of LG Electronics:
